Hi bees! Last week my SO and I went engagement ring shopping… EEEK times 8 million!! Anyway, we narrowed it down to two settings that I really like. Both are white gold and very similar with milgrain and diamonds on the side. The second one is more detailed, but it is also more expensive and I’m not sure I feel comfortable asking him to spend that much. Of course, he keeps saying “don’t worry about the price!” but I still do because that’s just how I am. So, please let me know which one you prefer. Do you think I will miss the extra detail if I go with the Gabriel & Co. setting (which I also love and was convinced was the one until the Beverly K caught my eye)?

My thinking is, my wedding band (passed down from my grandma) will cover up most of the side view anyway! Thanks in advance 🙂

@MrsZynxy: Have you seen them in person? I only ask because I ordered a G&Co ring and was very surprised at how much smaller, thinner, and daintier it was in person than it looked on their website, and it was a very similar style with those swirly profile designs 🙂

@MrsZynxy: I’m not a big fan of the engraved/detailed sides on rings. I don’t imagine it will hold up that well either. FMIL’s ring has details similar and they’re definitely showing signs of wear (it’s 33ish years old)

I love both but if the first one if more affordable, I’d go with that one! The extra detail on the second setting is stunning but it’s mostly in parts of the ring you won’t get to look at that often anyway.
